The Japanese automaker has announced a voluntary recall for the 2015 Fit which affects approximately 6,200 units. According to Honda, the A-pillar interior cover sold in other markets could have been improperly installed on vehicles intended for sale in the U.S. during vehicle assembly. An incorrect A-pillar cover could alter the performance of the side curtain airbag during deployment.

The company is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the recall, which was discovered during quality inspections at the factory. Honda is asking that all owners of the affected vehicles visit the dealership as soon as they receive a notification. The company will begin mailing out the recall notifications beginning September 25, 2014.

As a result of identifying problems with power window switches, Honda Motor Co. has announced it is recalling some 960,000 vehicles worldwide.

The recall is mostly related to 2006 to early 2010 Fit subcompacts (totaling almost 800,000). In addition, in the U.S., the company is also recalling some 80,111 CR-Vs from the 2006 model year for similar problems. The recall is a result of potential problems such as fire hazards that could result from faulty electrical contacts in the switches.

Another vehicle being recalled is the CR-Z hybrid, including some 5,626 currently on US roads. In this case the problem concerns the vehicle’s Engine Control Unit; the CR-Z has come under criticism for its rather underwhelming performance, especially as it relates to fuel economy.

Honda hasn’t said how much this global recall will cost, though with it following in the wake of supplier struggles resulting from the March 11 earthquake in Japan, it has proved yet again, that 2011 is shaping up to be one of the most difficult years the automaker has faced in recent times.
